Abstract

when brutal pogroms were routine, Shestov must have found Christian preaching of love meaningless and empty. One more point. To me, .Shestov's kidnapping by an underground po- litical organization when he was fifteen and his father's refusal to pay the ransom indicate a fa- ther-son conflict of truly extraordinary dimensions. 'After six months captivity Lev was released, shaken by his father's obstinacy.' (p. 3) Reputedly, Lev was associated with the revolutionaries. I find it incredible that a father refuse to save his child unless, of course, he knew that the kid- napping was a hoax. If it was, the incident speaks vol umes about a son who would subject his parents to such anxiety. Bernice Glatzer Rosenthal Fordham University Ronald E. Peterson. A History of Russian Symbolism.
